[PATCH 01/28] x86/perf/cqm: Wipe out perf based cqm

2017-07-25 Thread Vikas Shivappa
'perf cqm' never worked due to the incompatibility between perf infrastructure and cqm hardware support. The hardware uses RMIDs to track the llc occupancy of tasks and these RMIDs are per package. This makes monitoring a hierarchy like cgroup along with monitoring of tasks separately difficult
